Should you choose to make a purchase through one of my links, I may receive a small commission at no cost to you. Benjamin Moore Gobi Desert – Almost a blush color, this pink beige is a good substitute for purple in complementing eucalyptus.
Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze – Ever popular recently, this dark neutral brown would look good with almost any green. The background color is Snowbound by Sherwin Williams, which is my favorite SW warm white.
Then we have three different shades of eucalyptus green, and finally Revere Pewter. Revere Pewter because it is a warmer neutral that looks great with eucalyptus (assuming you didn’t want to go purple) and many people have it in their home already!
Eucalyptus even when it reaches a grassy green color, still has some blue to it. I wanted to include colors that were specified as “eucalyptus” by each mainstream paint brand, but unfortunately Benjamin Moore’s offerings desperately miss the mark.
Sherwin Williams Privilege Green is a really nice “true eucalyptus” color.
Fresh Eucalyptus by Sherwin Williams is a really pretty green color with a lot more blue than the other shades I chose. For anyone who is looking for a sage green color, I think Fresh Eucalyptus reads that way too. I looove the color Grenadier Pond by Benjamin Moore.
I find grenadier pond to be right on the money compared to actual eucalyptus. Behr Also has a color named “Eucalyptus Leaf” but it is closer to a robin’s egg blue. If you’re keeping track, Valspar’s Eucalyptus Leaf brings us to three colors of the same name!
Usually I like to do a side-by-side comparison when I find colors of the same name, but these ones are so different that it doesn’t serve a purpose.
Benjamin Moore Eucalyptus Leaf – Olive Green Behr Eucalyptus Leaf – Robin’s Egg Blue
These dark shades are a great range of sage to emerald, while staying in the eucalyptus family. Rollers like these hold the most paint and make the job faster.
(Make sure you get a small spackling tool that actually fits in the container, and a sanding sponge.)
This tool will save your back and limit time on a ladder.
It’s not that I want to comment on the name of every color, it’s that Benjamin Moore forces me to. I considered not including Vine Leaf because I wasn’t 100% sure that it fit the brief.
Plus, Vine Leaf is a really nice color, and I know how everyone likes to have options from Behr! Both of these next two colors are really great dark eucalyptus options by Sherwin Williams. Succulent is a more neutral, almost gray green, compared to the other colors that we’ve looked at. Read more about it here: Don’t Use Sherwin Williams Succulent (Unless You Want to Everyone to Copy You!)
From dark to light, now let’s look at some silver eucalyptus colors! These are for anyone who pictures that beautiful faded silvery green when they think of eucalyptus.
Wythe Blue (and really most of the silver eucalyptus colors) can easily be considered sage green in my opinion. At any rate, Wythe Blue is a nice gentle green that hearkens to a stem of silver eucalyptus. If you can’t decide between a true eucalyptus or a more muted sagey color, than you will probably love this one! I am not someone who has ever really gravitated towards very cool toned light colors, but Clothesline Fresh might just get me there!
I think it’s a perfect silver eucalyptus for anyone wanting a light color that can act as a neutral. It is similar to Benjamin Moore’s October Mist, in that it is versatile enough to use in your whole house.
It’s a trendy replacement for greige and gray, especially if you aren’t into tan. Sea Salt is very close to Valspar Clothesline Fresh.
